    This car is number two on the list.

    I have to say this was the most fun i have had detailing in a long time. This car had an awesome turn around, went from dull, faded, and oxidized to shinney and fresh in a short time.
    There was lots of hand polishing as it seemed everything was painted and in a weird place. Also the bright work on this shines, it was starting to pit but we got it to shine really nicely.

    We started with a wash using zymol clear
    clayed with Riccardo Clay
    washed again
    Dried
    Justin polished with 3.02 while i used megs 80 by hand in all the tight stops. It took almost as long to polsih by hand as it did by polisher...

    I then used p21s polishing soap on the bright work

    we then hd-cleansed the paint

    And of course a nice coat a Vintage. Followed by a field glaze and windows

    but enough chit chat, what you want are pics....well we have none

    Yea, I noticed that happend with my Mac, you must be using the Mac right? Not sure why but the pictures were coming out really small, didn't like that and I've been too lasy to figuire it out :shrug:

    The very first one just after Justin, on the right, is it a Vett? Justins Vett?

    Yea if you figuire out why the Mac does that please let me know as I haven't had the time to figuire it out why the Mac is doing that:shrug: Has to be some sort of setting, I'm guessing though.

    I'm on a Macbook Pro and have not had this problem. Are you using Photobucket? When you upload to photobucket, you can change the size you are uploading to.

    Nice detail on a neat car. One of my old girl friends had one. The front seats fold all the way flat if I remember. Can you get a pic of the interior?

    See that's odd because when I upload pictures from my Sony laptop to Photobucket they look perfect, but when I upload pictures dicrectly from my Mac to Photobucket they look small too? I'll take a look at the settings on Photobucket though. Thanks for that tip though :peace:
